information.
The early French explorers of
the state gave it its name, which is probably a phonetic spelling for the French
word for "downriver" people, a reference to the Quapaw Indians and the river
along which they settled. Arkansas, which joined the Union in 1836, was the 25th
state. Arkansas' early economy was largely one of agriculture, with cotton as
the main cash crop. Sawmilling was the earliest industry. Cotton and lumber are
still important, but they no longer dominate the economy. Today, Arkansas'
manufacturing income exceeds its agricultural income, but the state's basic
wealth is still in its farms, forests, and mines.
Arkansas is a beautiful land of
mountains and valleys, thick forests and fertile plains. The Ozark and Ouachita
mountain ranges in northern and western Arkansas are known as the Highlands; the
southern and eastern parts of Arkansas are called the Lowlands. Tourists enjoy
the state's natural beauty, its many recreational facilities and its historic
sites. Arkansas' mineral and hot spring waters are well-known.

American Indian ancestors inhabited the
area for centuries, then in 1541 the Spanish arrived to search for gold.
They were followed 131 years later by the French who claimed the
Mississippi Valley for France. Originally part
of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, Arkansas was organized into a territory
in 1819 and still shares most of those original borders today. Drawn into the
Civil War by its decision to secede from the Union, it witnessed major
battles fought on its soil. When the war ended, growth and recovery began,
and Arkansas grew from a vast wilderness into a thriving U.S. state. Made additionally
famous by former U.S. President Clinton (his boyhood home in Hope),
it's a handsome place known for its green valleys and thick forests. Tourists by the
thousands come for the history and scenery, and for the therapeutic
springs and resorts in the Hot Springs area.
Lowland forests, prairies and deltas, are all part of the (Gulf Coastal
Plain) that covers eastern and southern Arkansas. The Ozark and
Ouachita Mountains and their plateaus are found north and west. Magazine
Mt. is the highest point at 2,753 ft. Major rivers
include the Arkansas, Mississippi, Ouachita, Red, St. Francis and White.
In addition, the state has numerous smaller streams, lakes and springs.

Arkansas Post National Memorial
preserves and commemorates the earliest permanent European settlement in
the lower Mississippi River valley. In 1686, Henri de Tonti established a
trading post known as "Poste de Arkansea" at the Quapaw village of Osotouy.
Hunting, trapping and trade with the Quapaw Indians formed the basis of
the regional economy throughout the 1700s. It was the first
semi-permanent French settlement in the lower Mississippi River Valley.
The establishment of the Post was the first step in a long struggle
between France, Spain, and England over the interior of the North American
continent.
Over the years, the Post relocated as necessary due to
flooding from the Arkansas River, but its position always served of
strategic importance for the French, Spanish, American, and Confederate
military. Spanish soldiers and British partisans clashed here in the 1783
"Colbert Incident," the only Revolutionary War action in Arkansas.
Arkansas Post became part of the United States during the Louisiana
Purchase of 1803. By 1819, the post was a thriving river port and the
largest city in the region and selected as the capital of the Arkansas
Territory. In the early 1800s, an number of naturalists, scientists, and
explorers passed through Arkansas Post, documenting the plant and animal
life of the area prior to the widespread settlement and development that
took place after Arkansas statehood in 1836. Both Thomas Nuttall and John
Audubon documented their visits to Arkansas Post.
Located in the Mississippi Delta region of Arkansas, the park is located
on a peninsula bordered by the Arkansas River and two backwaters. The park
provides the most accessible wildlife viewing opportunities in
southeastern Arkansas. Deer, alligators, and bald eagles can be observed
throughout the year. Fishing is the most popular recreational use of the
site.
The Buffalo River is one of the few remaining unpolluted, free-flowing
rivers in the lower 48 states offering both swift-running and placid
stretches. The Buffalo National River encompasses 135 miles of the
150-mile long river. It begins as a trickle in the Boston Mountains 15
miles above the park boundary. Following what is likely an ancient
riverbed, the Buffalo cuts its way through massive limestone bluffs
traveling eastward through the Ozarks and into the White River. The
national river has three designated wilderness areas within its
boundaries.
Headquarters is located in Harrison, Arkansas, providing administrative
services to the national river. The Tyler Bend Visitor Center, the main
visitor center for the park, is located eleven miles north of Marshall,
Arkansas. The park has two other visitor contact stations; the Pruitt
Ranger Station, located five miles north of Jasper, Arkansas on Highway 7,
and Buffalo Point Ranger Station, located 17 miles south of Yellville,
Arkansas, on Highway 14.
Bull Shoals Lake, located in both Missouri and
Arkansas, is not only a very popular attraction for fans of the outdoors,
but also houses a dam that is the fifth largest of its kind in the United
States. The lake resides on the White River, roughly 60 miles south of
Springfield, Missouri and around 170 miles north of Little Rock, Arkansas.
Construction of the dam that forms Bull Shoals Lake
was started in 1947 and completed in 1953. It can be found 7 miles north
of Cotter, Arkansas. In 1952, commercial generation began on Bull Shoals,
with the powerhouse and switchyard finishing construction in 1953. The
final two generation units were installed in December of 1963, completing
construction at an estimated cost of $86,000,000.
Bull Shoals is one of four multiple purpose projects
constructed in the upper White River Basin, along with Norfork, Table Rock
, and Beaver Lake, for the control of floods and the generation of hydro
electric power. Bull Shoals has also become an excellent home to many
recreational activities.
Bull Shoals can cover more than 71,000 acres at
flood control levels, and 45,440 acres at conservation pool elevation.
Besides being an impoundment of the White River, Tributaries for Bull
Shoals include Little North Fork, Howard, East and West Sugarloaf, Bear,
Jimmie, Bee, Big, Beaver and Swan creeks. Water flows through the dam and
feeds the lower White River. Elevation of the lake ranges from 695 feet at
top of flood control to 654 feet at top of conservation pool.
Bull Shoals' limestone shorelines can range from 740
to 1050 miles depending on water height. The clear blue water of Bull
Shoals attracts scuba divers and spear fishers from many states. Museums,
Caves, the oldest house standing in Arkansas, and an old pioneer village
also attract many tourists to this marvelous lake.

Museum, Area Lakes Highlight De Queen
The southwestern Arkansas town of De Queen was
founded along a railroad begun in the late 1880s from Kansas City to Port
Arthur, Texas. When an economic depression beginning in 1893 dried up
sources of American capital needed for the railway's completion, Arthur
Stillwell, who had conceived the idea for the rail line and who was then
part owner of the Kansas City, Pittsburgh and Gulf Railroad, traveled to
Holland in 1894 seeking investors for the project.
Sun Sets on
Scenic De Queen Lake
His effort failing, Stillwell contacted Jan DeGeoijen, a coffee broker he had met on a previous trip to Europe. He
convinced De Geoijen to support the project and in a few months the two
managed to raise $3 million.
The town was named in honor of DeGeoijen, but due to pronunciation
difficulties among early residents it was altered to the English variation
"DeQueen." The change subsequently made possible one of Arkansas's, if not
the nation's, most agreeably curious newspaper names. The DeQueen Bee
began publishing in 1897 and continues in operation
www.arkansastravel DeQueen is the birthplace of country music singer Collin Raye, a
three-time nominee as "male vocalist of the year" by both the Country
Music Association and the Academy of Country Music and a member of the
Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame. Raye's Number One country hits have
included "Love Me," "Little Rock," and "One Boy, One Girl." Each June for
the past decade, Raye has performed a benefit concert in DeQueen.
As of 2005, Arkansas has an
estimated population of 2,779,154, which is an increase of 29,154, or 1.1%, from
the prior year and an increase of 105,756, or 4.0%, since the year 2000. This
includes a natural increase since the last census of 52,214 people (that is
198,800 births minus 146,586 deaths) and an increase due to net migration of
57,611 people into the state. Immigration from outside the United States
resulted in a net increase of 21,947 people, and migration within the country
produced a net increase of 35,664 people. It is estimated that about 48.8% is
male, and 51.2% is female

L’Espagnol
Hernando de Soto est le premier européen connu à avoir visité le territoire
qu’on appelle aujourd’hui l’Arkansas. Les Français Marquette et Joliet, en 1673,
puis Cavelier de la Salle, en 1682, l’ont exploré à leur tour. L’Arkansas fut
une terre française jusqu’en 1763, puis de 1800 à 1803, après un intermède
espagnol. Il fut cédé aux Etats Unis en 1803, devint indépendant en 1819 et
entra dans l’Union (25ème Etat) en 1836.
L’histoire
récente de l’Arkansas est marquée par l’élection de Bill Clinton, ancien
gouverneur de l’Arkansas, à la présidence des Etats Unis en 1992 et ré /b>ont>
Arkansas was home to Native Americans long
before Europeans arrived. The first explorers met Indians whose ancestors had
occupied the region for thousands of years.
History.
Before the French became acquainted with this tribe (in 1673) the Quapaw had
lived on Ohio River above its junction with the Wabash, and that portion of the
Ohio was known as Arkansas River by the Illinois from this circumstance. It was
formerly thought that the Pacaha or Capaha met by De Soto in this part of
Arkansas were the tribe in question, but it is not probable that they had left
the Ohio then, and the name Capaha, the form on which the relationship is
supposed to be established, is probably incorrect. In 1673 Marquette visited
them and turned back at their towns without descending the Mississippi any
farther. La Salle in 1682, Tonti in 1686, and all subsequent voyagers down and
up the Mississippi mention them, and they soon became firm allies of French.
Shortly after Marquette's visit they were ravaged by pestilence and the
Ukakhpakht and the village was moved farther downstream. A few years before 1700
the people of Tongigua moved across and settled with those of Tourima, and still
later all of the towns moved from the Mississippi to the Arkansas. Le Page du
Pratz (1758) encountered them about 12 miles above the entrance of White River.
Sibley (1832) found them in 1805 on the south side of Arkansas River about 12
miles above Arkansas Post.
